Counting The Omer

The counting of the days to Shavuot is intended to remind us of the link between Passover, which commemorates the Exodus and the Resurrection; and Shavu'ot, which commemorates the formal giving of the Torah at Mt. Sinai.

We are what we eat

The phrase "We are what we eat" first appeared in 1826, written by Anthelme Brillat-Savarin in Physiologie du Gout, ou Meditations de Gastronomie Transcendante: "Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es." [Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are]. It suggests that to be fit and healthy a person needs to eat good food.

Patience and Gratitude for the Road
Sometimes the road before us seems very long. In college there may have been extremely late nights of studies; as parents, we endure long nights soothing a fussy baby; or perhaps we have had to dig deep for patience as we waited for our own healing to occur or sat with loved ones through long illness.

Intentional Walking
Do you walk through life crouched with fear and anxiety or do you stride with faith and serenity?

Special Mitzvah for Mother's Day
Mother's Day is this Sunday; a sweet annual milestone where we celebrate the grace of goodness manifest in this world through mothers. This Sunday in addition to flowers and brunches, we need to be brave enough to extend our hugs beyond our own families.

Living with Awe
To live in the Sacramento area is to witness the miracle of growth. Season after season, whether we dabble in one decorative bulb or earn our living from produce, when we place seed in ground and watch what happens, we receive nothing short of enormous awe.

Defying Evil
The principle of humanitarianism means that humankind shall be treated humanely in all circumstances. The fundamental principle of the humanitarian response requires saving lives and alleviating suffering, while ensuring respect for the individual.
